Congrats on the move. :) I was excited to see you were moving to South Carolina. I love it here!! I’m in the upstate (Greenville area). I’d love to know if you are going to be close. My husband and I are moving in 4 weeks from our apartment to a new place in town. I know what the stress is like.

i’m in Charlotte, NC, which is right on the border of SC. If you’re around this neck of the woods (Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Columbia) shoot me an email and I can tell you some great places to visit! If you’re on the beach. . . we’ll I’m envious.

Hi Penelope – I was just looking at your site after seeing your artwork on the Scott Hull website. Anyway, I love your work, and I am so happy to hear you are moving to SC! I have lived in Greenville pretty much my whole life. I really like it here, and it gets better every year. Good luck with your move. Let me know if you’re moving anywhere near Greenville!

Penelope – great news! I hope you are moving to Charleston (where I’m originally from) – gorgeous beaches, great food and super friendly people. Good luck with the move. Have you told Nikki (of Skirt! mag fame)? Claire

Change is good, although stressful. And the angels will with you because of your motivation for you move. It will be fun, different, exciting….and full of love and family. What can get better than that? ;)))
Your house has such great yard space. Unbelievable. I miss that here in WA state. I remember yards in TExas that would go on forever. Go lightly and yourself. And keep that mantra in your head.

sc cheap to live. got gas there today for $2.79 gal, sales taxe and property taxes r some of the lowest in the county. schools not so good, ranks about 46th or so in the nation. ppl can be friendly, scenery is good speically the beaches and the upper portions near western nc cause ur close to the mountains but then just about any place u live there is too. i dont live in sc but its only a 10 drive for me to be there. oh just so u know for some ppl here the war never ended. and that can be on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being so so and 10 down right hostile.

Wow, that is a huge relocation! I’ve been following your blog since I found IF and then listened to your interview at the illustrationmundo podcast (which was super cool!). You are such an inspiration to me! I admire your courage and your dedication to work and family. It is wonderful that you are so open and willing to share everything with us! Thank you – I’m sending you and your family all the best wishes with everything that is going on. All the best with your move :)

Hello, I’m an illustrator in Clemson SC (not the most creative and alternative of communities, but the weather and the scenery are nice). I wish you good luck with your move and your family, if you land near Clemson/ Greenville, let me know.
best wishes, Tatjana

Hey! Congrats on your move! I work p/t for a realtor group here in Pa, and from what I gather, the market is down about 15% from what it was this time last year. Houses are selling slower, but they still ARE selling…so that is a good thing! It might take a little longer, so dont’ be discouraged if it takes a few months. Your house looks to be in very nice shape – which is great! Just some info from working in the business for a little while…the only downside I can see is that it is a 2 bedroom. The upside is that you are on a nice piece of land, the house looks to be in great shape, nice kitchen, fireplace, AND a 2 car garage. Plus – from the pictures, it looks as if the house shows well… so you have alot of plusses working for you! Good luck!
